No more preinstalled snap on Ubuntu 19.04?

I don’t know why you’ aren’t seeing logs, but let’s work around that for now. Try this:

sudo systemctl stop snapd.\*
sudo SNAPD_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib/snapd/snapd

no, leave it running for a while more please.

well, yeah, you just “stopped it with cntrl+c” :slight_smile:

running for a while more, how much? now it’s been running for more than 45 minutes and the system status is as follows:

Thank you. What’s the output of snap changes?

Actually, what’s the output of

i can reinstall from the same ISO Ubuntu 19.04 “Disco Dingo” - Alpha amd64 (20190311)
or download the new pending ISO 20190312 and reinstall from it

Unless you’re working on fixing this issue (and coordinating with anybody else that might also be working on fixing this issue), I’d say you do as @slangasek said and use the latest current.

on this PC I already have a partition installed from Ubuntu 19.04 “Disco Dingo” - Alpha amd64 (20190306)
now I’m writing from a new install from Ubuntu 19.04 “Disco Dingo” - Alpha amd64 (20190312) i will use only to help fixing this issue. let me know if i can run some test here.
I want to note a particularity of my installation that gave me problems in other cases: I’m using English language but Italian metrics:

I reinstalled Disco on to a physical laptop yesterday from the daily ISO dated 12 March.

I have the same situation, and very similar looking logs. The journal is empty for snapd, snap list shows only core and the GNOME platform snap installed. No other snaps in /snap.

Do you have ”snap changes” and “snap tasks NNN” for seeding change?

also journalctl -u snapd plz

Post updated with a link

@willcooke If you systemctl restart snapd.service, do you get a line in journalctl -u snapd talking about a missing meta/snap.yaml?

Mar 13 17:41:02 will-1904 snapd[4009]: helpers.go:691: cannot retrieve info for snap “gnome-calculator”: cannot find installed snap “gnome-calculator” at revision 335: missing file /snap/gnome-calculator/335/met

That line is truncated, but I’d say that’s the droid you’re looking for.

is there anything under /snap/gnome-calculator/335?
